I've got the rack and pinion out of the car and the seal kit from Amazon. Now how do I get into the rack and pinion. I've removed all of the obvious and pulled an pried without breaking anything but can not gain access to the seals. Model number G28GCC15. Rack and pinion.

Good evening,

I attached a YouTube video of rebuilding a steering rack in a similar car but the process is the same. It is not recommended by any manufacturer to perform this procedure at all. It is best to replace it as they come with a warranty. If any of the shafts are worn and have grooves in them, the seals will nor seal. Then you will be replacing it anyway.
